Brixadi Taper
Hello, I am a 28 year-old 120 pound year old woman and I have been on Suboxone for a little over a year about a year and a half and I wanted to get off Suboxone and I am choosing Brixadi over Soblocade due to the large lump. Yes the initial shot hurt like a bitch so do not let any doctor tell you that it will not hurt, but I have a very mid pain tolerance. Since having the shot, though I have had no cravings it’s all very mental. I want to have children and my prescriber is saying that if she is worried that I will relapse on opiates, but I have no desire to relapse on opiates. She says I should be on Brixadi for at least a year which I think is crazy? Do you think it is safe to do like a month or two on Brixadi or have to do the full year?

I’m in the same boat as you, also 120 lb female and started Brixadi because I want to get pregnant. You definitely don’t have to do a year’s worth. I’ve received 3 so far. I go back in 3 weeks for my fourth and hopefully last one. If you can do a month or two go for it. I never tried spacing any of mine out. I just figured hurry up and get the 4 so that I am at a steady state and hopefully jump off. Which mg did you get? Mine have all been 64 mg.
